Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Mike Murphy, who took over after the Week 12 loss against the Carolina Panthers, has turned things around in his four games. In back-to-back wins the past two games, the Colts have allowed just 14.5 points per game, and have allowed opponents to convert just 27 percent (7 of 26) on third downs. The Colts also have five sacks, while forcing four turnovers.

The Indianapolis Colts have replaced defensive coordinator Larry Coyer with linebackers coach Mike Murphy. "The move was made to improve communication and production," head coach Jim Caldwell said in a press release. "We feel this is the most effective and realistic way to move forward and win games this season. We appreciate all of the effort and hard work Larry Coyer put forth in his three years with the Colts."
